Taylor-Wharton LS6000 Nitrogen Vessel

• Long-term cryogenic storage of biological samples such as cells, tissues, and DNA in research laboratories.
• Preservation of pharmaceutical products and active ingredients requiring ultra-low temperatures.
• Storage of IVF samples, blood products, and other critical biological materials in medical facilities.
• Use in biotechnology and life science sectors for sample banking and bio-repository operations.
• Industrial applications requiring cryogenic storage of small volumes of materials.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, liquid nitrogen capacities typically range from 20 to 60 litres, with sample storage capacities varying based on canister and box configurations.

Power supply

Units of this type are passive cryogenic storage vessels and do not typically require an electrical power supply for operation, relying solely on the insulating properties to maintain temperature.

Temperature range

Cryogenic storage vessels commonly maintain temperatures around -196°C in the liquid phase, suitable for long-term sample preservation.

Material construction

Vessels are typically constructed from high-grade aluminium or stainless steel, designed for durability and optimal thermal performance.

Evaporation rate

Units of this type are designed for low liquid nitrogen evaporation rates, typically measured in litres per day, to maximise hold time.

Sample access

Access is commonly via a neck tube opening, allowing for the insertion and retrieval of canisters holding cryoboxes or cryovials.

• What is the typical hold time for a Taylor-Wharton LS6000?

  The hold time, or duration the vessel can maintain cryogenic temperatures without refilling, typically depends on the specific model's design, its capacity, and the frequency of access. Buyers should confirm the exact hold time with the seller for this particular unit.

• Does this unit require regular maintenance?

• What safety precautions are necessary when operating this equipment?

• Can this vessel be used for vapour phase storage?

• What is the typical footprint of an LS6000 model?

Liquid nitrogen storage systems are valued for reliable long-term sample preservation in research and pharmaceutical settings. Buyers typically prioritise checking insulation condition, vapour loss rates, and maintenance history when purchasing used units. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying calibration records and safety certifications before installation. Common strengths include robust construction and compatibility with existing laboratory infrastructure. Capacity requirements and storage location should guide selection, as should supplier support for ongoing servicing and spare parts availability.
